They won 2-0 away at Earls Barton to move up to seventh in the table.

After half-an-hour of end-to-end football, in which Lia Richardson and Jeorgia Carr did well to create chances for Posh, it was the visitors who eventually found the back of the net.

A free-kick floated into the penalty area by Georgia Bainbridge found Carr and she effortlessly volleyed the ball into the back of the net to give Posh a 1-0 lead at half-time.

Earls Barton came close to equalising early in the second half but in the 78th minute Peterborough made the game safe with their second goal.

A firm diagonal ball played by Stefanie Thorne ruled out two Earls Barton defenders and found the excellent feet of Richardson and she calmly placed the ball bottom-left of the keeper.

Overall this was a solid team performance from Peterborough.
